The cat is actually contemplating which thrilling Olympic event to watch first: synchronised swimming, shot-put, rowing, archery, dressage, javelin, shooting, weightlifting or triathlon. It's in a quandary with so much enthralling excitement around.

You can live here and have a great life and not be the least bit into living the local life. Clowns will try to diss you for it saying you gotta get down with the program, but fuck em, treat this place like a buffet and yous be on a diet. Take what you want and nothing extra, slam those oysters, but leave the bread sticks and dinner rolls behind. - Deuce Dropper

I'm much more of a nasty rotter in real life, especially with vapid or vacuous verbiage from the ill read & intellectually challenged. - TheGingerMan

And yet we salute Nadia Comencie and the ilk and not to mention 'academies' that comb talent and train them worldwide, but we reserve our condescension for the communist state. And yeah right, it doesn't light a fire under the western behinds.

What kind of horse shit NHS imagery was used during the opening ceremonies? Danny Boyle's celebration of the NHS with dancing nurses, bouncing patients, and huge hospital beds? That certainly isn't socialist realism! But a bullshit facade! And to me such public health dick-waving has no place in opening ceremonies. If anything it is a criticism of Boyle against Cameron and such cheap theatrics aren't proper in a celebration of sports. Didn't like the socialist imagery during the Beijing Summer Games opening ceremonies and don't like even stronger currents of it at these games (proving once against that the UK is more Communist than China).

And shame on them for not having a minute of silence at the ceremonies for the Israelis (in memory of the 40th anniversary of the '72 Munich terrorism attacks). To me, that reiterates the anti-Semitism that still is evident in salon society in Europe and amongst the corrupt chattering classes that love to collaborate.
